Which is the most "standard" platform to learn?
OK, I am brand new to unix. My exposure is limited to running a Counter-Strike server on Redhat 7.1. I am very exerienced in NT 4 and Win2K and am now going to use all my new-found time (read: just got pink-slipped) to learn unix.
I have FreeBSD 4.3, Redhat 6.2, Solaris 8, and TurboLinux 6 workstation.
I am in need of some suggestions on what platform to use to learn that will translate the best across the board. I ask because I have heard that there can be some pretty significant differences. I am leaning toward Solaris simply because it has such a large doco library.
Any insight from the more experienced users?
Thanks for your patience.
BTW, my thanks to Neo for running a board that is not intimidating to a neophyte like myself it certainly makes things easier.

dr(7d) Devices dr(7d) NAME
dr, drmach, ngdr, ngdrmach - Sun Enterprise 10000 dynamic reconfiguration driver SYNOPSIS
dr drmach ngdr ngdrmach DESCRIPTION
The dynamic reconfiguration (DR) driver consists of a platform-independent driver and a platform-specific module. The DR driver uses stan- dard features of the Solaris operating environment whenever possible to control DR operations and calls the platform specific module as needed. The DR driver creates minor nodes in the file system that serve as attachment points for DR operations. The DR driver provides a pseudo-driver interface to sequence attach and detach operations on system boards using file system entry points referred to as "attachment points." The attachment point form depends on the platform. Sun Enterprise 10000 Server On the Sun Enterprise 10000 server, the DR driver consists of a platform-independent driver (ngdr) and a platform-specific module (ngdr- mach). The domain configuration server (DCS) accepts DR requests from the system services processor (SSP) and uses the libcfgadm(3LIB) interface to initiate the DR operation. After the operation is performed, the results are returned to the SSP. For more information about the DCS on the Sun Enterprise 10000, refer to the dcs(1M) man page and the Sun Enterprise 10000 Dynamic Reconfiguration User Guide. The DR driver creates physical attachment points for system board slots that takes the following form: /devices/pseudo/ngdr@0:SBx Where x represents the slot number (0 to 15) for a particular board. The cfgadm_sbd(1M) plugin creates dynamic attachment points that refer to components on system boards, including CPUs, memory, or I/O devices. Refer to the cfgadm_sbd(1M) man page for more details.
